    Office area, amazing light fixture
    Rickey B.

    Well, I told Travis the new manager, when the situation changed I'll definitely update the review and here we go. Since last review we have realized the people under my apartment were the problem and they have left. I am now feeling comfortable again and the harassment has left with the tenants that moved out. With that being said, I am happy again with the new manager, the leading agents are very nice. I can confidently say this is an amazing place to live and I recommend anyone who wants to live in this area that Metropolis will be a place you can call home.

    Dog owners.

    We've only been living here for a few months, but from day one we've been pleasantly surprised. The amenities are amazing and well maintained, the units have nice layouts, kitchens with lots of storage space and minimal noise pollution from neighbors. The only downside would be the irresponsible dog owners that leave feces on the ground, let their dogs urinate on the hallway carpet or walkways and leave pet hair trimmings all over the elevators and hallways. My respects to the custodians that work hard to keep up with these messes. Really hope they check cameras and hold these people responsible.

    My view! I live in a resort!!!

    I moved into this beautiful property a couple of weeks ago and I have had the most wonderful experience. Leasing office, especially the lovely Eloise, go above and beyond with a smile and positive attitude. I've also had a great experience with the maintenance service's responsiveness and quality of work.

    In the 8 years I've been in the USA, this has been the worst experience living in apartments. Not only were there constant problems, like ridiculous notifications about things they didn't like, but that's not all. There were also constant thefts from the garage, such as stolen wheels from cars, and random people roaming around and peeking into windows. They hire managers through a process of negative selection. It felt like there wasn't a week that went by without some issue happening. You won't have a peaceful life here! Stay away from them!

    We lived at metropolis for a year and it was OK. The amenities are great! The pool is a vibe, grills are good, dog wash was very useful to me. The maintenance staff is amazing! Neighbors are ok. There's a lack of community. Everyone just occupies the units, casual hi, dogs don't appear to be trained and bark at each other. Dog piss constantly in elevators. Our downstairs neighbor was crazy and would bang our ceiling. The walls are thin but honestly wasn't a huge problem (for us). Here's the most important factor for our living experience. The leasing office staff does not put effort into resolving issues. It's as if they lack the ability to do more than just provide corporate FAQ answers. Jerrad at the front desk was great and helpful. Can't say the same about the rest. Zero effort and it's very ugly to see, especially in so called luxury living. Make an effort to help! The shared parking on Sullivan with the Main Street Plaza tenants is only for metropolis between certain hours (I believe it was from 5pm-6am) and they will tow your vehicle! Here's the kicker, the Main Street plaza tenants leave old, ugly, dusty cars parked there for months at a time which contribute to less parking. People smoke cigarettes on that same street next to the entrances despite the signs No Smoking. People I have seen smoking cigarettes next to the signs: metropolis tenants, metropolis leasing office staff, Main Street plaza tenants. Maybe remove the no smoking sign at this point?? We moved out and we are still being charged for renters insurance after we were told we would not get charged again. My dog also is happier now that we have moved elsewhere. This is one of the signs that I'm most grateful for (and was least expecting)! I personally would avoid metropolis and do not recommend metropolis to my friends and family.

    See photo.. email I received from the management team. I think I am smart enough to be able to differentiate excessive noises from everyday living noises. Thanks for nothing Metropolis.

    Absolute paradise. Love that I can say I live here

    The Row is legit. This is coming from me who has exquisite…read moretaste in pretty much anything and everything. Just being honest. Facts are facts. I've lived in some of the nicest most luxurious apartment communities in Orange County including Halcyon House, One uptown Newport and the Royce. Even though some of the others have better "location" there is no disputing that. I believe the row has the best bang for your buck and overall the best experience. Lived at The Row at Red Hill for about a year now and it's been a great call. Location is hard to beat -- quick access to the 55 and 5, and having the onsite retail means a lot of errands happen without ever getting in the car. The amenities here are genuinely top notch -- the gym and fitness area are some of the best I've had at an apartment community, and the rooftop pools are a huge win, especially living in SoCal. Those two alone get a ton of use from me and they're kept up well, which honestly matters more day-to-day than people expect. The gym is probably as good as it gets for OC as far as apartment communities are concerned. But the real reason I'm writing this is Jose and Margarita. Jose handles the outdoor common areas -- streets, the dog park, landscaping -- and it's obvious he takes pride in it. The man does not play around, he does the job perfectly. The grounds always look sharp, not just "fine." Margarita covers the parking garage and building hallways, and same thing: consistently clean, no slacking, every single day. It's easy for property management to talk about amenities and community, but what actually makes a place livable is people like Jose and Margarita showing up and doing the work right, day in and day out. That's the difference between an apartment complex that looks good in photos and one that's actually well run. This one's the latter, and a big part of that is them. Honorable mention to everyone else. The leasing staff as well as resident relations team are always super nice and professional. Five stars, easy recommend.

    Overall, the property is excellent. A few things stand out right away, starting with the gym. It is…read moreexceptional and feels like a space people genuinely enjoy being in, even beyond working out. The rooftop pools are beautiful, though they can get busy with kids on weekends. It would be great to see one designated as adults only. The dog park looks like a great feature for those with social dogs. Ours is a bit older and not quite as enthusiastic about the younger crowd, but it is still a nice amenity to have. That said, the best part of this complex is the leadership, especially Johnny, the General Manager. Well-run properties always have strong leadership behind them, and that is very evident here. When we moved in, Johnny personally made sure everything was taken care of, from small adjustments to the overall move-in experience. Greystar is fortunate to have someone like him leading the property. If you are considering living here, I would absolutely recommend it. My wife and I have been very happy with our experience.

    I'm really conflicted writing this because my boyfriend and I actually like our apartment and the…read moreoverall vibe here, but the amount of misinformation we've dealt with in just 4 months is honestly unacceptable. When we were apartment hunting, a huge selling point was being told that each leaseholder would get 7 guest parking permits a month. It sounded like a decent plus to the nightmare parking situation (virtually no guest spots or street parking in general; $150/month for an extra parking spot with a year-long waitlist). Instead, we found out the leasing agent completely LIED to us--it's actually 7 permits PER household, not PER person. I know we did not mishear this during the leasing process and that we were explicitly told we would receive 21 permits in total for the 3 leaseholders we had for our unit. When I brought this up, management admitted we were lied to, but they didn't even offer a single solution or credit for the $10-per-pass fee we're now stuck with. It feels like they'll say anything just to get a lease signed. The lack of communication between the office and security is just as frustrating. I've been kicked out of the "24-hour" business center TWICE by security because they weren't told the correct hours. I actually had to email a leasing agent myself and show the security guard the email on my phone just so she'd believe me--and even then, she took a photo of it like she still didn't trust me. It shouldn't be the resident's job to train the building's security on their own amenities! On top of that, we've already had to re-sign our entire lease two months after moving in because the office messed up the numbers on the original documents. While the unit itself is modern and I appreciate the gym and the package lockers, the "unseen"parts of living here are exhausting. The fire alarms go off at 3 AM for no reason, the power has flickered out multiple times, and it took around a week to get a working microwave when ours died. I still have 11 months left on my lease, and I'm genuinely worried about what else was a lie or what else will break. I'm mostly upset that they admitted we were lied to by their agent and took no action to make it right with us. If you're looking to move here, I'd suggest getting every single promise in writing, because their verbal word doesn't seem to be honest. I will keep this updated.

The lobby/leasing office/mail area really makes a grand impression when you first see it and it stands out above every other complex that I have toured. Flooring/thickness: 2/5 Soundproofing of the flooring in the unit above gets a 0/5 You will hear a dog running back and forth. You can definitely hear anyone without slippers or if they drop something on the floor. and it's horrible if they have people over. Luck of the draw here of your neighbor. I was lucky the first 24 months, but now I have to move because of this as talking to them didn't help. It's "just apartment living" is how it's dismissed. It's constant sounds 16 hours a day now and unlivable for me as it constantly occupies your attention even until 2 AM. You will need to get a top floor as the noise leaks through. The adjacent wall sound isolation gets a 4.5/5 You will rarely hear them unless a sound speaker is cranked up or if the sounds leak in from the hallway. Noise pollution: 2/5 -Outside facing apartments will get the freeway noises of loud cars racing down the freeway. -Mall facing apartments will get loud cars without mufflers and motorcycles. -Inside facing apartments will get parties or pool sounds and kids screaming Air Quality: 3/5 Obviously close to the freeway, you can see black particulate that isn't dust build up atop your car. Ventilation fans and the front door also pull in smoke and grilling smell from people cooking in the patio if your apartment is in the path of the natural draft.

Charles is great at the leasing office and helped me with a transfer. Intrusiveness: 3/5 Odd one but they will need to enter your apartment even if you are not home almost every 2 months due to annual inspections with more than two days notice: Fire Alarm, HVAC, Dryer Cleaning, Water Meter, Smoke Alarm, Appliance Inspection, etc. Walkability: 3.5/5 The closed off wellsfargo lot and missing sidewalk, and mall construction lower the score a bit for the area around, but there is still a mall you can walk through. The closed off wells fargo & missing sidewalk somewhat impedes the walkability to the local mother's market and chipotle. This remains a 4/5 after touring 18 more complexes in the local 10 miles. The score stays high as I've chosen to move within the complex for a continued stay and to avoid the annoyance and costs of fully moving. If you are sensitive to noise, this might lower to a 3/5. If I were not already here, this would still be in the top 3. It takes a lot for someone to review or bother to update one but i am annoyed enough to do so.

One of the things we appreciated most was how safe and respectful the community felt. In four years, I never experienced anything suspicious or concerning.

I initially lived in one of the outer apartments right next to the garages/dumpsters, but moved to an upstairs unit that was in the middle of the complex, Unit J1. Highly recommend both upstairs and middle complex because of the foot traffic and garages opening and closing. The walls are thin, that's just apartment living. Luckily I got one neighbor who was never home and my downstairs neighbor didn't mind my clogging practice. Really convenient having both in unit washer and dryers and multiple laundromats around. I never had an issue if I wanted to wash my duvet, the were never full. They also have a filtered water bottle filling station in the laundromat over by J1. Not sure if they have them in the others in the complex. (you're welcome). Sometimes I drive by just to reminisce on old times. The only small issue I had was with my deposit. When I moved out they tried to charge me for a cleaning fee, but I left my place spotless. Management companies in CA can charge a cleaning fee, but only to restore the unit to the same level of cleanliness it was in at the start of your tenancy. They cant cover "ordinary wear and tear". I ended up getting it refunded no problem, but just something to watch for.
